Chapter 128 Bracelet

“We of the Ice River Valley will absolutely not let you go!!”

Heavenly Snake roared, like a defeated lion forced to put on a show of defiance.

Gu He glanced at Heavenly Snake with disdain, his eyes as cold and indifferent as ancient ice.

“Are you sure you can still walk out of here alive...?”

The sky-high heat was like a boiler that had been brewing for a long time, making Heavenly Snake’s already cold heart even colder.

As long as Gu He existed, he would not let him walk out of Ye City alive!

Heavenly Snake realized this problem.

And the other Elders were already fearful, especially since the attacks from Medusa and Xiao Yi Xian had never stopped.

Gu He poured out his Qi, and the overwhelming pressure made Heavenly Snake’s shoulders sink.

“He, Heavenly Snake, is nothing but a dog for the Ice River Valley!” For the first day, for the first time, Heavenly Snake realized this so clearly.

But he still puffed out his cheeks slightly, unwilling to show weakness.

“The Ice River Valley will not let you go!” Heavenly Snake shouted coldly.

He knew how much the Ice Venerable coveted the Innate Calamity Poison Body! The Ice Venerable would not let them go!

Gu He nodded. “Mm, I know.”

“So... you can be on your way now.”

Gu He slashed with his sword. The residual cyan flame, like a scorching torch, swept directly onto Heavenly Snake’s white robes.

Heavenly Snake had fallen!

Heavenly Frost Child from Ice River Valley and the few Elders brought by Heavenly Snake were scared out of their wits.

“Snap!”

The Seal radiating cold air shattered instantly, and everyone regained their freedom.

As the colors shifted, the frost filling the sky gradually ceased.

With the Seal lifted, a rare beam of summer light appeared. The scorching heat on Gu He seemed to turn into a bird, flying up to soar in the Nine Heavens.

Everything was over. The Elders who weren't very good at fighting were also quickly dealt with by Xiao Yi Xian and Medusa.

The wilderness returned to silence, and the free air of summer was filled with youth everywhere. Once the battle ceased, the turbulent Ye City also calmed down.

The townspeople whispered about everything they had seen, one after another remembering a name, the name of a powerhouse—Gu He.

Gu He was no longer just Elder Gu He from the small Jia Ma Empire. He had walked out of the Jia Ma Empire, arrived in the Northern Region, arrived in the Central Plains, and truly made a name for himself here.

To make a name for oneself is exactly this.

...

In the Void Realm, it seemed as if clusters of white clouds drifted before Xiao Yi Xian’s eyes.

The clouds were like large balls of cotton, making her feel soft and sweet.

Xiao Yi Xian narrowed her eyes. The sunlight covered by the clouds was not dazzling. She narrowed her eyes to hide her slightly red-rimmed eyes, because whenever she thought about what Gu He had done for her, she felt like this was a beautiful dream.

But she knew these were all real: Gu He’s warmth, his kisses, his protection...

Xiao Yi Xian’s mind was filled with Gu He’s image.

She felt like she was growing... a love-struck brain!

Xiao Yi Xian couldn't help but ask Gu He, “Teacher, aren't you afraid? Aren't you afraid of the Ice River Valley’s revenge? Because of me alone... you have to oppose the entire Ice River Valley!”

Gu He stepped on the Void Realm and gently patted her head. “Teacher is not afraid.”

“They, the Ice River Valley, collude with the Hall of Souls. The Hall of Souls has always liked to capture talented people everywhere. The Hall of Souls has a grudge against me, so the Ice River Valley might not necessarily tolerate me either. We never had a chance to cooperate anyway.”

“Moreover... they dared to target you!” A trace of killing intent appeared in Gu He’s obsidian-like eyes.

This wasn't the first time Xiao Yi Xian had seen Gu He protect her so wholeheartedly, but every time, she was moved by it.

Because she knew that in the Fighting Qi Continent, the strong were respected and human relationships were cold, but Gu He...

Her teacher, the person she liked, could always bring her new warmth and new experiences.

“Leave it to me,” Gu He said lightly.

“Besides, we will both become stronger. Maybe one day, you will be able to turn them upside down.”

Listening to Gu He’s words, Xiao Yi Xian smiled sweetly.

Her butterfly-like eyelashes fluttered, and her cheeks were slightly pink, looking exceptionally beautiful.

Gu He rubbed her head again as if addicted.

Yun Yun, Feng Qing'er, and Qing Lin had gone to explore a secret cave together because of a treasure map Gu He had given them earlier, and they hadn't returned yet.

So, after the battle, the three of them were refreshed, and their fighting spirit had been stirred up.

The three of them quickly flew down from the Void Realm, shifted their Qi, changed their robes, concealed their aura, and at Gu He’s suggestion, went shopping together.

Ye City was very large, and there were many fun and beautiful things. Although Gu He and the others had fought against the Elders of the Ice River Valley, it was a fierce battle high in the sky and had no impact on the common people. The commoners only heard the sounds and saw shadows. After Gu He and the others changed their clothes and concealed their auras, no one could recognize them.

...

On the dazzling street, the shops on both sides were arranged as neatly as the teeth of an ivory comb.

After changing their clothes, the three of them were shopping and eating. Xiao Yi Xian suddenly stopped at a stall selling bracelets.

Gu He also stopped with her. As for Medusa, she glanced at the purple patterned ring on her hand.

She remembered that when Gu He gave it to her, this ring was an ugly jade thumb ring. Who knew it could change its appearance according to her wishes and become the look she liked.

She had accepted it reluctantly back then, but now, as she stroked the ring with her finger, her state of mind was completely different.

It felt a little warm, she didn't know why.

This sudden warmth caught Medusa off guard. She could only hurriedly shift her gaze to look at the bracelet Xiao Yi Xian had picked up.

It was a green sandalwood bracelet that could wrap around a man’s wrist twice. The beads were yellowish-brown wood, each with uniform grain, facing the same direction, with very even patterns.

After being activated by Qi, it could change from this clear yellow to light green, and finally to dark green.

The faint green sandalwood scent also seemed to grow wings, entering the noses of the two women, rich and fragrant, exceptionally pleasant.

“Boss, I want to buy this. How many Spirit Stones?”

After communicating with the boss, Xiao Yi Xian bought the bracelet.

She presented it to Gu He like a treasure. “Teacher! A gift for you!”

Gu He smiled and took it. He injected a trace of Qi into it, then wore it on his wrist.

The green beads were warm and elegant under the sunlight, steady and magnificent. It was indeed very suitable for him. His disciple really had good taste!

“Xian'er understands me.” Gu He chuckled, like a sigh.

Suddenly, he felt someone tug at his back, a very gentle tug.

He turned around and saw that Medusa had already bought a ram's horn bracelet. This bracelet also wrapped around the wrist twice; the bead color was yellowish-white, and the brightness was slightly dark.

Medusa didn't speak. She directly took the ram's horn bracelet and strung it onto Gu He’s hand, which was wearing the green sandalwood. Her white wrist pressed against Gu He’s sleeve, and her fingertips, with a bit of nail, brushed across Gu He’s palm, feeling a bit ticklish.

“For me?” Gu He raised his eyebrows and asked.
